Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire after his side's 1-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers:
"Angry's the real emotion, I think. We should have took a point there. The nature of that and it's anger.
"I can take losing [but] I'm very disappointed. The game itself, we sort of knew Michael [O'Neill] would go with the five at the back, he changed it [in the] second half, and we picked a team we knew would play well against that.
"I felt we had control of the game in spells but without looking the threat we wanted to do.
"We might have territory, we might have had set plays, we might have had moments where we controlled the ball but not enough chances at the end of that.
"I'd have taken a point; us not at our best attacking-wise, a clean sheet away from home and a point is never to be sniffed at in the Championship."
